| Additional information |
After the deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476, various Germanic successor powers continued striking tremisses in the names of legitimate Eastern emperors — a deliberate act of fiscal conservatism, since coins bearing recognized imperial names circulated without friction across former Roman territories. Invoking Leo I, who had died in 474, placed these issues in a narrow window of retrospective legitimacy.
Attribution remains contested. The Arles reference points toward a southern Gallic mint, possibly under Visigothic control during their peak territorial expansion into Provence.
